Tanzanian singer Juma Jux has sparked a wave of reactions on social media following his win at the recently concluded Headies Awards. The award, which he won for Best East African Artiste of the Year, has raised eyebrows, with many speculating that his marriage to Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, may have played a role in his success.

In his acceptance speech, the singer thanked God, his wife, his management, family, and fans for supporting him throughout his career. He also expressed gratitude to the award organizers for recognizing East African music on such a prestigious platform.
While many congratulated Jux on his win, a number of social media users speculated that his marriage to Priscilla may have influenced the decision. Some comments reflected the belief that his marriage gave him an edge over other contenders.
